OSXL-TIM3-Series

Supported Applications

The OSXL-TIM3-Series is a compact, fully automatic handheld thermal imaging camera that captures a thermal image and displays measured temperature on an on-board color LCD. Because it is focus-free and lightweight, it can be pointed at equipment and structures to visualize heat patterns quickly, then save images to a micro SD card and transfer them to the included software for report generation.

Typical inspection and diagnostic uses include:

• Factory automation and process control monitoring.
• Building and HVAC inspection.
• Solar power generation equipment checks.
• General electrical and mechanical fault-finding where surface heat signatures reveal problems.

Note: these products are not designed for use in, and should not be used for, human applications.

Operating Conditions & Performance

The camera measures infrared temperature across a range of −20 to 250 °C (−4 to 482 °F). Accuracy is ±2% of reading, or 2 °C (4 °F), whichever is greater, specified at a reference ambient of 26 °C (Tamb). Thermal sensitivity is 0.1 °C.

Core imaging and hardware characteristics include:

• Detector: a 32 x 31 thermopile array feeding a 32 x 31 thermal image resolution, with an 8 to 14 um sensor filter band.
• Frame rate: 9 Hz.
• Field of view: 40 x 40, with focus-free optics.
• Display: a 71 mm color LCD.
• Emissivity: 0.95 default, adjustable from 0.1 to 1.
• Storage: stores up to 60,000 images per GB in BMP format and supports an 8G micro SD card.
• Interface: USB output for transfer to the reporting software.
• Power: four AA 1.5 V batteries.

The enclosure carries an IP54 splash-proof rating and the product is CE marked. It measures 94.65 x 74.03 x 233.68 mm and weighs 411 grams including batteries.

Configuration Options

The series is supplied as a single configured model, so the capabilities described here define what the OSXL-TIM3 does rather than differences between separate hardware versions. Its configurable measurement behavior is set through the on-board menus and the desktop software:

• Emissivity control: a default of 0.95 with matt, semi-matt, semi-glossy, and glossy presets, plus a user-set value adjustable from 0.1 to 1.
• Alarm limits: selectable high alarm (HAL) and low alarm (LAL) thresholds.
• Software processing: framestack integration to reduce noise, interpolation to simulate higher resolution from the 32 x 31 array, and eight selectable color schemes for the false-color display.
• Output units: temperatures can be shown in Kelvin or degrees Celsius, with English or Chinese menus.

Key Product Differences

The series is ordered as a single model number:

• OSXL-TIM3 — handheld thermal imaging camera, supplied complete with operator's manual, hard carrying case, belt pouch, SD card, four AA batteries, and software on CD.
